If you are in the search for a cream whipper, you came to the right place. I will help you find the best whipped cream dispenser on the market for the best price!

Just the other day, I was sitting at my desk, thinking about a nice cup of coffee with some whipped cream on top, and I was instantly inspired to make my own white fluff of heaven.

Yes, you can make your own whipped cream which will taste even better than the store-bought one! The only thing you need is a whipped cream dispenser, and you're ready to go.

So, if you’re looking for the best whipped cream dispenser, I am here to walk you through the most important things you need to know before deciding on your favorite one. I will also give you the list of 5 best dispensers from my experience, in order to give you more ideas and insight.

What Is a Whipped Cream Dispenser?

Simply put, a whipped cream dispenser (also commonly called charger or whippet) is a cylinder or cartridge typically made of steel, that is filled with a gas substance called "nitrous oxide (N2O)" which is used as a whipping agent.

Essentially, the sealed container holds a sizable amount of this highly pressurized gas that helps you make homemade whipped cream. Sounds simple, right?

Even if you haven't owned a whipped cream dispenser yet, you've probably seen it numerous times on the TV or in the supermarket, wondering if it's worth buying. I'm here to help!

Is It Worth Making Your Homemade Whipped Cream?

One of the questions about whipped cream I get most often is whether it's worth buying a dispenser and making it at home when you can go to the nearest store and get a can of it at a low price.

In my opinion, there is nothing to lose, and everything to gain if you use a whipped cream dispenser.

First of all, artificial flavors can be eliminated. There is never a better tasting store-bought item than a homemade one. Of course, not everything in the world is about taste - there is one thing more important, and that is health.

We all know that everything artificial is bad for our health, so it's always much safer to use all natural ingredients and flavors and make your own, fresh, additive-free whipped cream.

Secondly, you can control your calorie intake. You can never know what exactly (and in which amount) the manufacturers put in an average can of whipped cream.

When you make your own, you can substitute sugar with other sweeteners that are sugar-free, and also replace any other ingredient with its low-calorie counterpart. Just by this, you can lower the calorie intake substantially.

Last, but not least, you can customize the design. Whipped cream is rarely used on its own - it's typically used as a decorative part of some desserts and drinks.

For these purposes, when you make your own whipped cream in a dispenser, you can add food color, change tips whenever you want to, and generally be much more creative with designs and decor.

Another thing that I love about homemade whipped cream is that it won't be filled with air (like store-bought whipped cream), so it doesn't melt down, and it stays up much longer.

I particularly paid attention to this when I was making some cupcakes for my niece's birthday. The colorful, homemade whipped cream stood up for hours, and the cupcakes looked as beautiful as when I first finished them.

What You Need To Know When Choosing The Best Whipped Cream Dispenser

Whipped cream dispensers come in various shapes and sizes, but in order for you to get the best whipped cream dispenser on the market, there are a few categories you should take into account.

1. Material

There are a lot of different variants of dispensers, but I would advise you to go for either aluminum or stainless steel ones. Both are sturdy, but also light, and they provide the best performance. Some dispensers have stainless steel or aluminum bodies but have plastic heads.

Even though this might be a cheaper alternative, I still recommend that both the head and the body are aluminum or stainless steel. If I had to choose between the two, I would give a slight advantage to stainless steel because it's generally easier to take care of.

2. Size

First of all, when discussing whipped cream dispensers, there is no "best size" that I refer to. Size is merely a matter of need and preference.

The most common size is 1 pint, and this is an excellent choice for every beginner, but also a regular and moderate usage in your home.

However, if you intend to use it commercially, or to do some heavy-duty baking, you should go for a bigger one.

3. The N2O Gas Cartridge

The gas which helps create the whipped cream runs out after some time. It's important to select a dispenser which is compatible with almost all standard brands of N2O cartridges to ensure usage over time - certainly you don't want to buy a dispenser that you can use for only a limited period.

4. Nozzle/Tip and Variety

If you’ve read any of my previous articles, you know how much I value having many options with a particular item.

For me, this is one of the most important things to consider when shopping for the best whipped cream dispenser. You should choose the one that offers you multiple tips so you wouldn't have to improvise or buy separate ones. It also gives you a variety of options when you want to decorate something.

Typically, I wouldn't even consider a dispenser unless it includes at least two different tips.

5. Warranty

I really appreciate when a brand backs up their product and offers any kind of guarantee for it. There are certain items which generally don't come with a warranty because they are too risky (usually electronic kitchen devices).

However, whipped cream dispensers should usually come with a lifetime warranty, but that is the best case scenario. Often you'd get only a one-year or two-year warranty, which is also good.

Most Recommended Whipped Cream Dispensers: Detailed Reviews 2019

Now that we got all of this out of the way, you know everything you need to choose the best whipped cream dispenser. However, I will still help you with that, and give an honest opinion on my personal top 5 choices.

EurKitchen did quite a good job on their whipped cream dispenser. They remodeled this dispenser so it has a new, modern design which can go well with almost any kitchen because we all know that black goes with everything!

What I like about this dispenser is that both head and body are made of durable aluminum, which I mentioned was important for the best possible performance.

It also has a silicone grip which I think is vital for safety measures, primarily because the threads are reinforced, durable and lightweight. For this reason, it's perfect for daily use, but also much safer than dispensers with plastic heads.

This product comes with three decorating tips which offer a fair amount of versatility. The manufacturer also says that you can use this dispenser not only for whipped cream but also for:

Soups

Sauces

Scrambled eggs

Butter

and many more exciting things.

If you are looking for more professional usage, three tips might not be enough for you, but for everyday usage, I think this is satisfying.

This whipped cream dispenser uses the standard 8-gram N2O chargers, which means it's compatible will all brands. However, the charger isn't included in the price, so you would have to buy a separate one.

As I already mentioned, 1 pint is a standard size for dispensers, and I think it's sufficient for most needs. A bonus for the company is that they offer some additional equipment:

a cleaning brush

a spare N2O holder and silicone seal

a mesh storage bag.

I think this is a great move and a bargain for the price.

The EurKitchen whipped cream dispenser is incredibly easy to clean, especially with the cleaning brush that can reach all the spots in the tips and the dispenser head.

As far as the warranty goes, the company offers a no-questions-asked 100% refund if you're not satisfied with the product, or they can replace your dispenser with a brand new one.

Unfortunately, I wouldn't say this is an extremely durable dispenser, solely based on my experience with other dispensers as well. Therefore, if you are a heavy whipped cream user, you might want to rethink buying this one. Nevertheless, I still think this dispenser is a solid, well-rounded choice for almost all needs.

As you already know, I am a big fan of stainless steel, so this whipped cream dispenser by Otis Classic immediately drew my attention. Of course, I just had to try it out!

The size and capacity of the canister are standard - 1 pint (or 500ml), which is more than enough for everyday home use, and the design is quite simple and neutral.

The dispenser is entirely constructed with food grade stainless steel, meaning that both the head and the body are steel. That being one of the most important things to look at, I was immediately pleased with this characteristic.

This dispenser is also suitable for multi-use, so you don't have to make only whipped cream. However, I don't think it offers as many options as some other dispensers from this list.

On the other hand, it comes with three culinary decorating tips which provide a solid amount of versatility. Also, this is quite a standard number when it comes to dispensers and their additional parts, so I wasn't expecting much more from the company.

I find stainless steel very easy to clean, and this dispenser wasn't any different - especially with the cleaning brush that enables you to clean the decorating tips thoroughly.

However, if you like washing all your equipment in the dishwasher, you might want to look the other way because this dispenser should be hand-washed only.

The N2O cartridge is a standard 8 gram, so it's compatible with almost all cartridges available for sale, but you don't get it included with this purchase.

As far as the warranty is concerned, Otis offers a 1-year guarantee (excluding gasket, tips and charger holder), which is fine, but in my opinion not good enough. All in all, I do think this is a high-quality, durable product.

Impeccable Culinary Objects (or ICO) are well known in the industry for being fashionable and affordable, so I had to try their dispenser for myself.

My first impression was that the all-aluminum body and head are quite lightweight, which makes this whipped cream dispenser feel comfortable for everyday use.

This is another multifunctional dispenser which can be used for both hot and cold applications, as well as for various sweet and salty delights, such as:

Foams

Soups

Sauces

Dips

Liquors

Batters.

This cream whipper can hold up to 1 pint of liquid, which is a standard amount suitable for most needs.

I like stainless steel slightly more, but aluminum is also a great solution for this purpose, and it's also easy to clean. However, it's important to note that the interior of this dispenser has a plastic coating, which came as a surprise to me.

The N2O cartridges are also standard in size (holding the standard 8g), so this whipper is compatible with most cartridges. Of course, you have to buy the chargers separately as this item doesn't include any spare ones.

Unfortunately, I was disappointed with the versatility of this product - or, should I say, the lack of it. There are no tips or any additional equipment that comes with this dispenser, which really limits your options if you were looking to get more creative.

The manufacturer does offer a warranty, but it's limited to only two years. On the other hand, that isn't so bad especially taking into account that this product doesn't feel high-quality.

Pros

All-aluminum body

Fulfills the standard

Warranty

Cons

The company iSi North America is definitely one of the more high-end manufacturers when it comes to whipped cream dispensers. I expected a lot from this one, largely because it's the most expensive one from my list.

The iSi dispenser is entirely made of high-quality stainless steel, and except for a silicone seal, there aren't any other materials on the exterior or interior - which I'm a big fan of.

Another thing worth mentioning is that this dispenser is dishwasher safe, which can make your life much easier. However, if you don't have a dishwasher, you can clean it easily with the cleaning brush that comes with the product.

The size of this product is also 1-pint, so nothing out of the ordinary so far from iSi - not even when it comes to versatility.

Firstly, the Profi can only be used with cold ingredients, which can limit your options in so many ways. Secondly, it comes with only one decorative tip, while all others offer at least two of them.

Of course, if you are not looking to experiment a lot with your cream dispenser, the Profi should be fine for you. However, if you want to use your dispenser multifunctionally, you should probably look elsewhere.

As far as the N2O cartridges are concerned, Profi is compatible with all 8-gram chargers on the market. Keep in mind that you don't get one with the purchase, so you have to buy it separately.

This product comes with a 2-year warranty; on the one hand, it's satisfying, but on the other, I expected more from a high-quality product like this.

All in all, I do believe this is a sturdy and well-built product which is made to last long, but I feel like it's missing out on various options because of the lack of versatility.

Cons

The Animato whipped cream dispenser wasn't as popular as some others from my list, but it surely deserved a place here. I was positively surprised with this product's performance.

This dispenser is entirely made of premium food grade aluminum, so both the body and the head offer maximum safety and leak-proof usage.

Even the additional pieces that come with the product, such as decorating tips, are heavy-duty stainless steel. This tells me that Animato went all in on this product, and, it paid off!

The size is 1-pint, just like all other dispensers from this list, so there isn't anything out of the ordinary there - quite a satisfying size for almost all needs.

I am a big fan of versatility, as you probably know by now. The Animato whipped cream dispenser includes:

three decorating tips

two cleaning brushes (one for the bottle and one for the tips).

I really like this, and I think that this product offers a lot of different options with all these additions. Even though you get two brushes, you don't need to worry much about cleaning because this dispenser is dishwasher safe, too.

All 8-gram N2O cartridges are compatible with this product, but keep in mind that they are sold separately.

My favorite thing about this product is that the manufacturer offers a lifetime warranty - they want your absolute satisfaction, or you'll get your money back. However, I would be careful with this because it refers to only mechanical malfunctioning, and some people reported that the customer service isn’t good.

Generally, this product offers a lot for its price, and I think that it might be a good choice for beginners, but also more skilled chefs, baristas and bakers.

Pros

Entirely made of aluminum

Versatile

Additional pieces included

Dishwasher safe

Lifetime warranty

Cons

Tips are wobbly and might create a mess

Instructions could be better, especially when the product doesn’t deliver

exclamation-triangle

Cartridge opener section is flimsy

The Best Whipped Cream Dispenser Is…

I put a lot of thought into this decision, but I think that the Animato whipped cream dispenser offers most for its price. Some minor differences put this product in front of the others, such as practicality, lifetime warranty, and ease of usage.

For this reason, I think that Animato's dispenser is the best choice for many of you - whether you're looking to try it out for the first time, or you already have some experience.

Of course, you've seen all five dispensers from this list, and you might find another one more suitable for you. Whichever you choose, I hope you have fun with experimenting in the kitchen!
